Yohanes 1:27

1:27 who is coming after me. I am not worthy ¹  to untie the strap ²  of his sandal!”

Yohanes 5:21

5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, ³  so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes. ⁴ 

Yohanes 19:18

19:18 There they ⁵  crucified ⁶  him along with two others, ⁷  one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

[1:27]  ¹ tn Grk “of whom I am not worthy.”

[1:27]  sn The humility of John is evident in the statement I am not worthy. This was considered one of the least worthy tasks of a slave, and John did not consider himself worthy to do even that for the one to come, despite the fact he himself was a prophet.

[1:27]  ² tn The term refers to the leather strap or thong used to bind a sandal. This is often viewed as a collective singular and translated as a plural, “the straps of his sandals,” but it may be more emphatic to retain the singular here.

[5:21]  ³ tn Grk “and makes them live.”

[5:21]  ⁴ tn Grk “the Son makes whomever he wants to live.”

[19:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “where they.” This is a continuation of the previous verse in Greek, but contemporary English style tends toward shorter sentences. A literal translation would result in a lengthy and awkward English sentence.

[19:18]  ⁶ sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.

[19:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “and with him two others.”
